Super Mario 3D World (Wii U)

Date Purchased: November 22, 2014
Date Completed: May 10, 2014
Price: $40 (futureshop.ca)


Wow. Absolutely loved this game. Got every green star, every stamp and every flag pole except for the ridiculous final level (World Crown). My favorite Mario game since 64.






Batman: Akrham City (PS3)

Date Purchased: December 25, 2012
Date Completed: April 14, 2014
Price: Free (PS+)


Probably the oldest game on the pile. I got this for Christmas in 2012, bought it for $10 on Wii U, but finally finished it when I could just play it off the drive. GREAT GAME. Shouldn’t have waited so long. I’m typically not good at these button combo combat games, but I was kicking some ass by the end. I even played beyond the end to get some missing trophies, which is rare. RECOMMEND.

Need for Speed: Most Wanted (Vita)

Date Purchased:  March 8, 2014
Date Completed: April 2, 2014
Price: $5 (PSN)

Great portable racer. Reached #1 on the most wanted list. Unfortunately still not up to par with the original “Most Wanted” featuring the one and only Razor Callahan. Recommended.

Tomb Raider (PS3)

Date Purchased: March 6, 2014
Date Completed: March 31, 2014
Price: Free (PS+)


This is NOT “Uncharted”. I was a pretty big fan of the Tomb Raider of old and much preferred those to this game. I liked the crazy, over the top action of the original games. What’s wrong with a girl in a ball gown riding a motorcycle on rooftops of skyscrapers? Still decent enough to recommend.

Thomas Was Alone (Vita)

Date Purchased: March 19, 2014
Date Completed: March 30, 2014
Price: Free (PS+)

This game was not on the list long. I knocked it out in 4 days. LOVED LOVED LOVED this game. Highest recommendation.

Sly Cooper: Thieves in Time (Vita)

Date Purchased: January 14, 2014
Date Completed: March 26, 2014
Price: $6.75 (PSN)

Man, I really wanted to like this game, but I hated this game. Too much dialogue and Sly was the only character I could stomach. I wanted to kill “The Murray” and Bentley suffered from verbal diarrhea. I honestly can’t recommend this game personally. My opinion is my own. 




Kirby's Epic Yarn (Wii)

Date Purchased: January 23, 2014
Date Completed: March 25, 2014

Price: $10 (Kijiji)


Very relaxing game. You CANNOT DIE! Very cool art style and a soundtrack that is incredibly charming. Designed to appeal to small kids, but I enjoyed this much more than my Cole and AJ. Recommend.
